I'm so old, I saw that movie in the theaters in college. Dragged a bunch of friends to go see it. Sounds dumb, they said. It's George Romero, I said, it must be awesome. Two hours later, I lost a bunch of friends.

To whoever mentioned it farther up the thread (sorry the phone won't let me quote you and I can only see 3 or 4 comments at a time): I too had thoughts about all of the perverted shiat you could teach a helper monkey to do. To other people of course not to me. You could be a Monkey Pimp, I can't think of a more awsome title.

Speaking of pet peeve, I really, truly, and deeply despise anyone who claims that their pet is a "helper animal" solely because they want, for themselves and their pet, the privileges given actual helper animals when it comes to public access & interaction. There are folks out there who really do need helper animals to deal with not just physical, but also psychological, hurdles, and these assholes make a mockery of that need.

No different than pretending to be handicapped just to get a parking placard, and just as friggin' despicable.

That was me and you can't be a "Monkey Pimp" unless you can master the "monkey pimp walk". And of course you would need a cool Monkey Pimp name, of which I can't think of any at the moment because I'm too busy stuffing my face with pulled pork sammiches that I made (smoker) today.

Medic Zero:Monkeys give me the willies. I could never have a helper monkey, I'd always be expecting it to tear my face off. Little bastard would probably hold your face up like a trophy and cackle maniacally.

/ face// off/// not helpful!

If I was gonna have a helper primate I'd want a gorilla. At least if it goes apeshiat on you it would probably kill you before you knew what hit you.

If you can pretend your way past a doctor to get a Handicap Parking placard that has to be one POS doctor.
